COMMANDER CHILDs's ADDRESS
was one of the most interesting
~
speaking of the prosperous condi-
ton OF the department under his prede
cessor, Col w. l.. Greenleaf, Commander
Childs continues: That the trust confided
to my hands is now returned to Won with
the interest in the welfare of our order
undiminished, with an increased member
ship in the department, and with at least
no lessened zeal on the part of its COM

ness of those who have been assOciat ed
with me in the conduct of its affairs, and
rs well also to the able and faithful dis

upon the officers of the posts them,

Childs says that "all of the posts fol-

II. Wood and Comrade w. II. Schroeder "A.
his assistants, as well AS Assistant Quar-
termaster General Greenleaf aud Inspector
General Morgan.
Commander Childs refers az follows t
the Woman's Relief Corps: "The estab

will continue TO be, productive of grea
good in this direction. Apart from TIA,
most valuable assistance which this auxil

in rendering the charitable work of tn,
